GULF FRONT- Great Location-Pets Welcome

Fantastic Views, Large, Comfortable beach house. We had two familes with our kids and our boat and had plenty of room. We especially liked the location and having a separate mother n law suite downstairs, our kids can get rowdy and my Mother and Dad had their own space. We have booked to come back before school starts

The property sits on a secluded section of the beach which is so nice we felt we had the beach to ourselves! Prior to reserving this house I read the reviews about one of the bedrooms being detached from the rest of the house which was fine we only needed 4 bedroooms. Turns out the top floor master had a bedroom attached but the bed was jacked up! It seemed to have a deflated air mattress laid on top of the regular mattress. My son in law said he took a nap on it the first day and it was "pretty crappy" . I intended for everyone to stay in the main house and not use the detached bedroom. But because the bed was not functional we had to use it. My husband and I chose the room. I didn't want my grand baby in the room because of the pungent mildew odor.

So with us in the detached bedroom we felt a bit cut off from the rest of the family.

We had to contact the owner about the air conditioner and a problem with the light and the fan. They responded promptly and respectfully.

The overall condition of the house was disrepair and dirty. The kitchen counter was cracked and covered with a large cutting board. The couches looked dirty with grease stains on the back where one would lay their head. Dust covered the coffee table and the ottoman. The laundry room was efficient and clean. The stairs were very dirty dead bugs and dirt littered them but nothing a good vacuume couldn't fix!

This was our third trip to Cap San Blas and each house has been clean and well cared for but the first moment in this house I wanted to turn around and leave. My husband and I choose not to fuss or complain because we were there for the beach and didn't want to have a negative experience.

I understand the house is older but there is no excuse for dirt! For what we paid for the week I expected better.

I want to begin by stating that we have rented beautiful homes in this area for 5 years and expect to pay a great amount during peak season, but this house needs to greatly lower their price because the condition of the house and furnishings do not compare to the houses around it. The owners are very nice and the house could and should be beautiful, but it is that house among the amazingly well kept, beautiful homes that has been adding a nail or some tape rather than actually going in and making the significant repairs needed. I saw another report that stated people walking the beach pointed and laughed at the house. After talking to the owner, I felt this was just a person exaggerating. However, People walking along the beach really do point at the house because it is obvious it is in disrepair and can be seen from a lovely beach walk. Several asked if it was a mess inside too! A neighbor actually asked if I wanted to see the beautiful home they were renting a few houses down for less because they have rented several in this area. The Screen porch could be lovely, but has so many openings and tears it does little to help with bugs. Kitchen pots and pans - well it is just time to replace. Rocking chair in bed room was broken and glad we noticed before sitting with grandbaby. The pine floors are beautiful and the house is great for a group, but the owners - who in conversations seem very nice- need to put in a significant amount of work and money - not just TLC- to bring it to the standards of the homes around it and to continue to charge top dollar. I checked out some of the other houses and talked to renters - we were paying more or the same but in a house that lacked the quality of the others. There was no need to call the owner and complain, because frankly they already know the problems and a call would not quickly fix this house. We enjoyed the beautiful beach and made the best of the accommodations as we wanted to have a joyful vaction and enjoy our time together. The beach in this area is amazing.

Nice time at the beach with my grand kids, this shabby chic beach house was just what we needed to get away from stress of work and spend time with the fam. The kids got their flashlights at night and looked for ghost crabs, you could hear them squealing from the deck. Good memories.

Our family loved this home and we can't wait to go back next summer to make more memories. Being on the gulf made everything perfect.

The home was so much fun.

It was big enough where 11 people could spread out or come together for meals or games. We had to have a couple of things repaired while staying in the home. All I had to do is email the request and the repairman was at the door. He was so courtious and professional too. Our family loves this home and would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in this area.
